The second round of the DFB-Pokal is set to get underway on Tuesday with Bayer Leverkusen taking on SC Elversberg at BayArena. Die Werkself are in third place in the Bundesliga, while SVE are sixth in the 2. Bundesliga standings. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Bayer Leverkusen kicked off their DFB-Pokal campaign with a 1-0 victory over Carl Zeiss Jena in the first round with Jonas Hofmann scoring the only goal of the match.
Since then, Die Werkself have played 10 games across all competitions and have suffered just one defeat, while picking up five wins and four draws from the remaining nine.
At home, Leverkusen have played five games this season and are unbeaten in their last four. They have also scored two goals in each of their home games this term.
Meanwhile, Elversberg put in a commanding opening-round performance in this competition, thumping Oberliga outfit Borussia Hildesheim 7-0 on the road back in August.
SVE have also been in solid form in their second tier, unbeaten in their last four games (W3 D1 L0), while having only lost two of their 10 league games this season.
In six away games this term, the visitors have a record of two wins, three draws and one loss.
These two sides met in this competition back in 2022 and Elversberg claimed a 4-3 win, though that was on their home patch.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Spvgg Elversberg Prediction
While Bayer Leverkusen are the obvious favourites in this match, we are likely to see Xabi Alonso field a changed-up squad here with Stuttgart and Liverpool to come in the next week.
That could give Elversberg a chance to challenge the Bundesliga outfit, who have been leaking goals this season, conceding 15 in eight league games to date. Our Bayer Leverkusen vs SV Elversberg prediction: SV Elversberg Over 0.5!
